Mikani

Imagine an image appearing on your coffee cup whenever your long-distance friend pours coffee into their cup! Mikani is a coffee cup brand that functions like so to encourage reusable cup usage in order to combat disposable cup waste. This includes an app that sends personalised messages, and an interactive photo booth to promote the brand. This was a university brief in collaboration with Born Ugly, a design agency in Leeds. The challenge was to address one of the Ugly Truths affecting today’s society by creating an engaging response through design to drive change.
